Thank you for asking this question, because I would like to know. I am 
going to look into:

xml-mode that comes with emacs has a print function that takes "nodes" 
and serializes them as XML text. There are variables that describe what 
a node is.

esxml intends to be sxml (http://okmij.org/ftp/Scheme/SXML.html) for elisp.

xmlgen - https://github.com/philjackson/xmlgen
